348/409 in a Deuce?
I have a friend who's building a car & wants to run the 348 he has in his garage. Also has a 409 but it's earmarked for the bubble top.
Here's my question.
Will a 348 or the 409 fit & still run hood sides? I've looked that the new July 08 Street Rodder mag (page 158) & there one in there but no side panels.
Will it clear & anyone have pics?
Headers? What will work & miss the frame?
He needs pics.Last edited by Steves32; 06-04-2008 at 08:17 AM.

IMHO if your going to put a 348/409 in a Deuce, I would not cover it up with hood sides.. They are a bit wide so I don't think sides will work w/o ressesses in the hood sides.. Nitrofc who used to be on here had a '32 with a 348 in it, no hood sides and IIRC stock manifolds. he was banned so I can't find a picYou don't know what you've got til it's gone

Hey Deuce- I've seen that green one before. GNRS 08?
Good to know on the hood sides. He's pretty fixed on running them.

This 5 window from England has a 409 fitted. It looks like stock hood sides don't fit without a blister panel. Probably to clear exhaust manifold.

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
